The Oath of the Horatii seems to take place outside in a courtyard‚ whereas the Liberty painting appears to be in a city similar to New York City.

Not a lot of art works can be considered as masterpieces. Las Meninas by Diego Velazquez‚ a group portrait of the court of Spanish King Philip IV‚ is definately one of them.
